All sata controllers are built into motherboards in Oz. So as such yes I 
have installed quite
a few mostly with Asus A7N8xx and Gigabyte N400 motherboards. Only two 
installed
were Soltek. Of all of them the Asus and the Gigabyte performed the best 
and I have had no
problems with the sata drives. I must admit that I have only installed 
Mandrake or Suse.
